Short answer, make it fit. Depends on how much it is off and where. If in width and less than an inch, hang it on the hinge side and scribe it to fit the lock side. If more than an inch, measure the opening and take equal amounts off of each side. This is for solid wood doors only. Hollow core or chip filled core only have an inch wide piece of wood on the edges and can only be cut down about 1/2 inch on the sides. If too tall, the bottom of a solid wood can be cut as much as 3 inches depending on how it is made. A hollow core or chip core has about a 3 inch solid wood on the ends and can be cut 1 1/2 on either end.
A hollow metal door is constructed of two face sheets of cold rolled steel sandwiching a core material. Typical core materials are polystyrene, cardboard honeycomb, fiberboard or urethane. A wood door can be solid wood stiles, rails and panels or two laminate sheets on a mdf core. Hollow metal doors are usually cheaper, but also usually only available in flush (a smooth slab). It was want a typical stile and rail door you should opt for wood.
It is up to you, most composite wood can be painted and stained to your liking. Solid wood is exactly as it sounds and solid wood can be painted or stained also.
absolutely. Use screws shorter than the thickness of the door/
Your answer depends on the wood -- some wood is heavier than other wood; whether the door is fashioned in some way with mouldings; whether or not the door is hollow or solid, and so forth.
One can purchase solid wood doors from local home improvement stores where one can choose the colour and type of wood used. One may also find a solid door at local furniture stores.
After measuring the door, you would purchase it with money from a hardware store or a place specializing in windows and doors.
It can be. Most exterior front doors are mahogany, oak or metal with a few fiberglass ones as well. Interior doors are usually a Masonite product, hollow core. Some are still made from solid pine, a soft wood.
